Here we feature another D&AD winning entry from 2006 by Jenney Sutton. The brief was to imagine a new set of designs for the iconic flags that adorn the outside of Coutts Bank - 440 The Strand London.

Here we feature recent graduate Dave Shorrock’s Halloween inspired Habito 'Demon Cleansing Ritual' kit feature in The Drum
The concept was created by recent graduate David Shorrock, after he pitched via You Can Now’s network of universities, colleges and art and design schools, as part of Habito’s Halloween challenge.
The brief asked graduates to come up with a creative concept that would be bold, clever and bring Habito’s mission (to save people from mortgage hell) to life.
Inspired by research that showed that 55% of people in the UK would be put off buying a property if they thought it was haunted, Shorrock created Habito’s eight-step home exorcism ritual to banish any ghouls back to the other side this Halloween.

Some excellent work and benchmarks for years 1 & 2 to analyse, absorb and ultimately learn from. Nice!
Here we feature a reflective post on the building of the stone circle that adorns the frontage of the Victoria Arts Building on the Preston Campus. Initially conceived and realised just over a decade ago, we thought it timely to post a short filmed retrospective.
Original sketches of the typography that sits on the top of the circle.

As ever, we are constantly reviewing the archives and adding projects.
Matt Kovacs produced the following brand for his Honours project. The brief he set himself was to create a brand for a martial arts festival, and change the public’s perception of what the martial arts really are. Society has a negative opinion of martial arts, believing it is a purely physical pursuit, whereas the mind plays a much bigger role than expected.
Here we feature the first in a series of short tutor lead talks looking at design classics and the thinking behind their conception. This particular short film looks at a typographic solution to an identity and how typography, in the right designer’s hands, can communicate a complex concept in a simple yet sophisticated manor.

We just came across this little gem while roaming through our hard drive and couldn’t resist posting. We think it dates back nearly a decade and was done by Mark Young in his 2nd year. Mark now works for Straight Forward Design - London.
Simple.
